Trump loyalists demand retribution against 13 Republicans who voted for President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill, demonstrating the power of the far-right in the party
At the exact moment that Democrats largely unified, the Republican fracture over fealty to former President Donald Trump revealed itself anew.— Republicans in name only — after last week's House vote, saying they should be "ashamed of themselves" for supporting "Democrat longevity." And one of his chief allies is calling for vengeance.
These potential sanctions differ in degree, but share a purpose: to intimidate Republicans from stepping off the party line, as drawn by Trump. "History has a funny way of repeating itself, and, unfortunately, members haven't learned from mistakes of the past," said one former House GOP leadership aide. "The circular firing squad benefits nobody but the other side."
Though many of the same political dynamics are at play, Republicans could say she was sacked because they no longer had faith in her as a leader. In that way, Gaetz's focus on the ranking-member slots — the Republican leaders of committees and subcommittees — is more analogous to the Cheney situation than completely removing lawmakers from panels.
